  • It’s just not the entire story. Ozempic/wegovy changes the way you feel about food.

    I used to always want to eat a lot. And if there was candy on the table within my sight, like 80% of my mental focus would be on that candy, no matter how hard I tried to focus on something else.

    Now it’s more like, meh I guess I could take a piece of candy, and then I get lost in talking and forget to actually put it in my mouth until half an hour later.

    It is definitely not just appetite suppression. I used to overeat a lot, even after feeling quite a lot of pain from beeing stuffed, I would keep eating. Now I forget to eat, if I don’t have people around me going to lunch.

    The soothing, rewarding pleasure of swallowing sugar, fat or salty food I used to need to feel good is just gone most of the time.

    To some degree it feels like I have been set free.


  • I have an app where I register when I take my meds, and which meds.

    I make sure to absolutely always tap the app while taking the meds. No taking meds and then going to find the phone, or tapping the app and then take the meds. Always do it simoultaniously.

    With that rule in place, I know that I can 100% trust the app in telling me if I have taken them or not.

    This works really great for me.

















  • Hey, I completely agree with you, in that the most interesting discussions are among groups where I don’t agree with everyone. This is where I learn and grow as a person.

    But in saying that, aren’t you also saying that some people, like you and me, would not use such a database to filter out the users we do not agree with?

    And would it not be a logical conclusion to make, that people who likes to build and stay in their echo chambers, would not be more inclined to listen to different opinions just because they don’t have a more efficient tool to sort out people they disagree with?

    What I am saying is, all information that is technically available will be collected and analysed. Better make a public and open platform showing everything, such that everyone can see exactly what can be collected and surmised from the already public information, than to keep users blind from what information they actually leak publically.
